In this week's Okehampton Times, the Appeal Notification in respect of the Den Brook Wind Farm at North Tawton. A stark reminder of what else is involved apart from the turbines. Appeal Notification 8250/2005/OKE "To erect 9 wind turbines, electricity transformers, control building, wind monitoring mast and to construct access tracks, crane hardstandings and associated works plus a temporary construction compound and two temporary wind monitoring masts". No doubt this is what would be involved with Chilla Moor as well, as if the turbines aren't bad enough. |
